Dismantling the War Economy

It is spring, a time for less words and more beauty. Today's contribution is from the working group Referendum, which is underway online in advance of the World's People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Bolivia.

Around the world, those preparing for the conference are contributing their thoughts on living in harmony with the earth and upholding the sacredness of Mother Earth in the working groups. (English message follows.)Mensaje De: Sylvia Maria Valls

ALL PEOPLES SHOULD DEMAND THIS POSSIBILITY.That trade be considered on the basis of natural frontiers instead of on arbitrary and obsolete frontiers and formulas.That “democracy” be reconsidered following the issues discussed in “Profile of a Legitimate Democracy” wherein the disappearance of“competition” among political parties as a basis for the selection of legislators, judges, administrators (among other things) is set forth as a goal.That the importance of defining “rights” (of the Earth, of citizens) considering first the obligations towards human beings in view of the satisfaction of the real “earthly needs of the body and the soul” be recognized.That we bet on the creation of the “United Municipalities of the Americas,” inviting the other continents to do something along the same lines. The United Nations would become the United Biorregions of Mother.
